More than two hours of chapter go a long way.
‘Stranger Things’ has put an end to its most spectacular season (waiting for the last one) with a Marvel movie-like chapter that has taken us on a roller coaster of emotions: first there is a plan, then they will Everyone will die, then everyone will be saved, then half and half… And we haven’t seen anything yet because the best, as it should be, will be saved for the final battle. Be that as it may, it is one of the most intense and exciting episodes in television history. Also, with its two and a half hours, one of the longest. That is why we have had no less than ten moments to remember this chapter called ‘The Piggyback’ originally and translated (to call it something) in Spain as ‘The plan’.
Spoilers for the ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 finale
Joyce and Hopper kiss
Neither Mike and Eleven, nor Max and Lucas, nor Dustin and Suzy, nor Nancy having a threesome with Steve and Jonathan… Nothing has equaled, equals or will equal this adult, mature and deep sexual tension that ‘Stranger Things’ had given us. been delaying more than necessary. The whole Russian storyline may be the biggest filler and heaviest in this long yet exciting season. However, it was all worth it for giving us the best hug in chapter 7 and the best kiss in chapter 9… And he is left alone in a kiss because a happy call interrupts them. Blessed Netflix, a little HBO would have been good here. Ok, we were also moved by the hug between Hopper and Eleven but we still stayed with the kiss.
Eddie’s concert
“Chrissy, this is for you.”
eddie the hero
Yes, Eddie deserves two different moments and, although he left us (Manuela Carmena I will never forgive you), he said goodbye being a hero. He did not run away, he sacrificed his life so as not to risk that of Dustin and the rest of his companions, to try to save a city that he wanted to lynch him. He wanted to be the hero of his story in a role-playing game, the chosen one who dies at the end, calm, with the smile of mission accomplished on his face. This year was his year, this year Eddie graduated.
Hopper and the Sword / Murray and the Flamethrower
Murray is one of our favorite characters and presumably anyone’s. We all love Murray, we enjoy when he put his karate skills to use, he has saved the world several times thanks to his knowledge of Russian and, well, he just burned a pack of demogorgons with a fucking flamethrower. Murray is, of course, a legend. She makes it clear that then there is Hopper, more Rambo than ever this season. However, David Harbor’s character was more about guns and punches, we never imagined him slicing the sole surviving demogorgon with a sword. Here the Duffers and the rest of the ‘Stranger Things’ writers were really at their peak.
eleven and the helicopter
Eleven had time to lift a tank of water and check that her powers were back, yes. However, we cannot compare that warm-up with what he has to do afterwards, still under the effects of a sedative. Eleven shoots down the army helicopter as the army sniper shoots at her over and over again. The young woman does not tremble, nor does she flinch until she pulls the bird down, causing the rest of the vehicles to explode as a gift.
Jonathan, the older brother
We all hoped that Will would come out of the closet and confess his love feelings to Mike at some point in the season. ‘Stranger Things’ opted for something less cathartic but more intelligent for the narrative. It doesn’t make sense for Will to propose to Mike while Mike doesn’t show an iota of interest in boys and is madly in love with Eleven. One day he will have to tell his friend, yes, his sexual orientation. Let’s not forget, however, that we are talking about the 80s and behind that feeling there is a dangerous thought in Will, that of feeling different, and not exactly for the better. That’s why we like that Jonathan, an absolute idiot throughout the season, brings out that good and honest side that Nancy fell in love with and plays the big brother. The word gay is not said, it is not necessary, just the message from one brother to another that they will always, whatever happens, they will be there for each other.
Nancy and a shotgun
The first season surprised everyone by putting the gun in the girl’s hands and the stick in the boy’s. Quite simply, Nancy is much better than Steve at handling guns. Since then, Nancy has always had a collection of firearms on par with any Texan worth his salt. The shotgun, it was clear, was his. After cutting the barrel she approached Vecna ​​riddled with shots. Only falling out of the window saved him from the finisher, but Nancy certainly made us release a lot of stress with that series of shots.
Eleven Vs Vecna
Much has been made of the fight between Darth Vader and Obi Wan from the ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ series. The first was pathetic, and the second wasn’t bad at all. Eleven and Vecna, a full Jedi against a full Sith Lord, have also had two battles, both of which have been equally epic. We are happy, because in both she has won the bright side, that of love and the memories of friendship and affection. Of course, in the first one a portal was opened to another world that has caused all the evils of the series and in this Vecna ​​not only did she end up getting away with it but Max was left as she was. Let’s say eleven won on points but it was a more than worthy second round. Now we just have to wait for the last season to see the third. Oh, and applause for Mike and Will who, from the boxer’s corner, whispered just the right words to Eleven.
Lucas and Erica vs. Jason and the other rednecks
We knew that some idiot redneck was not going to beat Erica Sinclair despite having two heads. The young woman knowing she went for her opponent’s testicles, and then finished off the job with a blow to the head. She would be the first one we would choose for our team in anything you can think of. Lucas had a harder time letting go, and we understand that because Jason is stronger, older than him, and he had a gun. He was losing and had received a sovereign beating but it was seeing Max flying, needing him, losing the possibility of that promised date at the movies, how he brought out his Rocky side and left Jason KO That then the gap of the Upside Down World split him in the half was the icing on the cake.
Max
Max has been the best of the season, but not only of the fourth, where it seems that they have given Sadie Sink the weight that her talent deserves. Max is a breath of fresh air since he arrived in his second season. However, we already know that when the Duffers introduce a new character in their series, it is because he is precisely the one who is going to die. Max, Robin and Erica are the only subsequent signings to continue, but it seems that with Max they have been holding back for some time. Much more than her Kate Bush moment, Max has been the heart of the series this season and we could only breathe easy once Eleven brought her back from the dead. We know that Lucas will not be separated from her in the hospital but that he is in a coma, blind and with all his bones broken has not left us very happy to say. Be that as it may, Max and his possible death has been the great emotional journey of the season.
